Danny Chaoflux on the similarities between The Invisibles by Grant Morrison and the Cartoon Network show Codename: Kids Next Door.
1: The leader, bald, wears shades, really into spy stuff.
2: Inventor/Shaman, always cracks jokes, “the weird one”, overweight [ie: Future Fanny].
3: Shes nuts.
4: Street thug with thick accent and hoodie.
5: Cool headed, laid back tomboy, specialty is stealth and investigation.
Theme : Worldwide loose knit cells operate in secret to protect and encourage freedom from tyranny.
The Antagonists : ‘The Old Gods’ and their lesser manifestations.
This has been brought up a number of places on the internet, but I wanted to shop an image to go along with it paired with a breakdown.
Sure you could say its a blatant rip off, but I think its more interesting to think of it as a starter set of key memes.
